Are you like me and glad we are done with 2020 and are now in…drumroll 2021!
Last year was challenging: we made a lot of projections we couldn’t see through because Covid-19 happened, friends and loved ones died, the financial market crashed and new terms like ‘social distancing’ changed relationships as we have always known it.
Now, what if we can create a crises- proof plan that helps us cover our goals regardless of unforeseen diversions in 2021?
This is what my Journaling Your Way to Selfawareness Course is usually about- using the fine art of journaling to manage your mental health and create lifetime strategies.
In this workshop I have titled 2021 Goal Journaling Session we will be creating actionable plans and I will be offering slots in the first module for FREE . So feel free to share with your friends and your network: call it your New Year’s Gift to them, on my account 😊 .
It’s World #photographyday and I have to take out time to celebrate one of my passions.
A picture they say is worth a thousand words and this photo that I took at a rice plant in #Wukari In #Taraba state reminds me of my trip there a couple of years back.
Our #multimedia crew arrived wukari one afternoon and was received by officials who had been working with a handful of indigenes , to empower the community through farming.
Anyways, we got down to introductions and they wanted to know who and where everyone was from. Our team lead told the officials that everyone was from South but I was their ‘sister’ from the North. I am somewhat culturally unbiased and saw no reason why being being from the North suddenly made us blood. Also there’s the tendency for everyone to think that all Northerners share the same culture so I told them the state I was from. .
Kaduna.
A land of beauty. Of milk , Ginger and honey. Home to ancient cultures – where blacksmiths thrived and artisans moulded earth, burning them until they became timeless earthenware…
Like the Nok Terra-cotta.
The man and the woman looked at me and asked, ‘What Tribe?’ And so I told them.
That’s when I began to question everything. They looked at each other and laughed as though I’d called out my grandfather’s name. Or something.
‘Ham. Ham?’they echoed to each other before the man turned turned back to me .’
It appears you don’t really know your culture… Go and research your history!’ I tried to ask but they were insistent that I go on a ‘discovery Journey.’
‘You need to find out for yourself.’ He added.
And with that he drew out a long golden sword from it’s sheath. With both hands he lifted it above his head and brought it down with a force…
😁🙃
Okay, that last bit didn’t happen. But you see why that photo tells me a story- always. I am still trying to find out the correlation between the two cultures.
Happy photography Day to all PHOTOGRAPHERS! If you’ve ever taken a selfie and got it right, this includes you. 🥂 to us.
